Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Buccaneers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Buccaneers took Zion Logue at the 220th overall pick, roughly 30 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 32nd overall pick they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ray Davis
They reached a country mile for Ray Davis at pick No. 89, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tyrice Knight
A premium they did not need to pay, Tyrice Knight a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They jumped the gun on Ben Sinnott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They did well to land Joe Milton III in the 167th pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick197 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
By-the-book stuff, De'Corian Clark at pick No. 197 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
They took Kenny Logan Jr. at par in the 204th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at slot 220 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Myles Cole
They liked Myles Cole enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 247. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Cody Simon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cody Simon well ahead of where he belonged. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
